Greenwich's speed-camera contract — already under fire for how it pays its vendor — heads back before the Board of Estimate and Taxation Law Committee Tuesday, alongside two lawsuits already costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Blue Line Solutions, the Tennessee company running Greenwich's school-zone speed cameras, gets paid $20 per citation plus a $3.50 service fee. A May letter to the editor in the Greenwich Free Press argued that setup violates Connecticut law, which requires a flat monthly fee instead of per-ticket pay. The committee has the agreement on its agenda under old business, though it's unclear whether any changes are actually being proposed.
After the public session, the committee moves into executive session to discuss Sandra Pron v. Town of Greenwich and Fred Camillo v. Karen Hirsh — the latter a fight dating to December 2024, when Camillo sued Board of Education chair Karen Hirsh over a disputed school board appointment. That case has already cost roughly $200,000 in legal fees as of last year, likely more by now, even though the contested seat was settled by a November 2025 election. Defendants argue the case should be dismissed for exactly that reason; they've also accused the town of withholding funds for the school board's own legal defense to force its hand.
Greenwich is also fighting at least seven property tax challenges from major property owners, including a $13.9 million dispute with W.R. Berkley Corporation and a $20.9 million challenge from Atlas Holdings. As of late June, the town hadn't even filed responses yet — though those cases aren't on Tuesday's agenda.
Tuesday's meeting starts at 10 a.m. in the Law Department Conference Room at Town Hall and is open to the public for its non-executive portions. The committee's next meeting isn't until September.
